Question

Which statement contains explicit information from the excerpt?

Read the excerpt from “W.E.B. Du Bois: Social Justice Leader.”

Du Bois graduated at the top of his high school class. With the help of his community, he graduated from Fisk University--a historically black university--in Nashville, Tennessee. He later went on to get a bachelor of arts and a doctorate from Harvard. He was the first African American student to earn a doctorate at Harvard.

Living in Nashville had a significant effect on Du Bois, because it allowed him to see firsthand the effects of racism and Jim Crow laws on African American culture. What he witnessed during his years at college helped form the basis of his life’s work in civil rights.

b.)Du Bois earned a bachelor’s degree and a doctorate from Harvard University.
c.) Du Bois might not have attended college without his community’s support.
